Because I have been away from painting for some months now, I thought I would start off with some small paintings...anything to get back to painting again.
The Agapanthus (although a problem plant if not controlled) are rather beautiful. I love their stately elegance.
Watercolour and gouache on gessoed Arches rough... 300gsm.

Hi Sandra,I love these flowers (knowing very well how they can become the invasive monsters they can be) and your painting of this single bloom is delightful - your colour choice is perfect.I often cut one bloom down really short as I find it makes for an exceptional cut flower and an instant miniature bouquet in a small vase to adorn the dinner table or breakfast tray.

Thanks for your comment Patricia...I love these monsters too!That's a good idea using the head as a small arrangement! They are blooming well right now...I still have some left, I couldn't bear to take them all out.
